Detailed Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups pitted dates
- 1 cup raw walnuts (or almonds)
- 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of sea salt
- 2 tablespoons water (if needed for consistency)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Base: In a food processor, combine the dates, walnuts, raw cacao powder, shredded coconut, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Process until the mixture is well combined and sticks together when pressed. If the mixture is too dry, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a dough-like consistency.
- Shape the Brownies: Transfer the mixture to a lined 8×8-inch square pan or a small baking dish. Press it down evenly to form a compact layer.
- Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to set. This helps the brownies firm up and hold their shape.
- Serve: Once chilled, remove from the refrigerator and cut into squares or rectangles. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
